"For the first time in over 40 years we will be able to offer fans a full merchandise program that captures the classic, kitschy look and feel of the original 'Batman' TV show," said Brad Globe, president of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "This new licensing program allows our partners to take advantage of the characters, gadgets and humor that made the show a smash hit in its day and a perennial favorite decades later."

Correct me if I'm wrong but have there been over seas DVDs? Much like how most of Marvel's cartoons are on DVD in the UK but not here? I'm only asking this because I hang on a lot of torrent sites and I've seen a major Batman and Robin torrent that claims to be DVD rips and even reported to be DVD quality. So I was curious if some country has seen a DVD release of the series?

IF they produced a figure line based on the 1966 series, and I liked the quality, I would buy the entire line. I love that show so much. Adam West's Batman, Christopher Reeve's Superman, and The Superfriends turned me into the maniac I am today.

BURBANK, Calif., June 7, 2012 – Holy Licensing Program, Batman! Warner Bros.
